Answer Area

  • You can recover Policy1.No
  • You can add a new key named Item1.No
  • You can recover Item2.Yes

Explanation

Azure Key Vault with soft-delete enabled retains deleted secrets, keys, and certificates for a retention period (default 90 days), allowing recovery. However, access policies are NOT versioned or soft-deleted - once Policy1 is deleted, it cannot be recovered through Key Vault mechanisms. Item2 (a secret/key/certificate) CAN be recovered because soft-delete protects it. Item1 CANNOT be added as a new key while it exists in a soft-deleted state - the deleted item must first be purged or recovered before a new item with the same name can be created.
